Why It Matters

自2022年俄羅斯全面入侵烏克蘭以來,美國國會已通過法律禁止進口俄羅斯能源,以切斷資助俄羅斯戰爭機器的資金來源。

美國7位跨黨派聯邦參議員今天發表聯合聲明,質疑總統川普允許俄羅斯柴油出口的協議是否合法,因為自從莫斯科入侵烏克蘭以來,美國就已下達進口禁令。

法新社報導,川普9日宣布,已經與俄羅斯總統普丁(Vladimir Putin)達成協議,俄羅斯將向美國和全球市場供應柴油,以換取美國暫時放寬制裁。此舉隨即引來烏克蘭、歐洲聯盟和多位美國國會議員強烈反彈。

請繼續往下閱讀...

這份聯合聲明開宗明義指出:「國會在2022年明確禁止進口俄羅斯能源,防止美國資金資助普丁對烏克蘭發動的殘暴戰爭。」

「國會立場明確:在俄羅斯結束對烏克蘭的侵略、停止威脅我們北大西洋公約組織(NATO)盟友之前,美國不應該從俄羅斯進口石油。」

這份聲明由民主黨籍參議員夏亨(Jeanne Shaheen)、布魯門塔(Richard Blumenthal)、魏登(Ron Wyden),以及共和黨籍參議員柯林斯(Susan Collins)、穆考斯基(Lisa Murkowski)、匡希恆(John Curtis)與提里斯(Thom Tillis)共同簽署。

聲明進一步指出:「川普總統允許俄羅斯柴油進口的決定直接違背相關法律。行政部門也未依據法規要求與國會進行諮商,或提交任何能為其決定提供正當性的說明。」

參議員們譴責此一決定是「在俄羅斯繼續殺害烏克蘭平民之際,為普丁提供經濟命脈」,敦促川普政府「立刻改弦易轍」。

財政部長貝森特(Scott Bessent)今天接受福斯新聞頻道(Fox News)訪問時為該協議辯護表示:「我們將會運用擁有的所有法律權限來處理這件事。」(編譯:何宏儒)1151012

Continuing the fight against Shen Boyang》Lan Jin's special report on drug harm reduction, Green's private execution hall

Forty-seven days before the nine-in-one election, Chen Jinghui, convenor of the National Health Commission of the Kuomintang, arranged for eight ministries to make special reports on drug harm reduction. DPP legislator Guo Yuqing criticized this move as not concerned with public health policy, but political manipulation, in an attempt to position the Legislative Yuan Committee as an extended battlefield for the Taipei mayoral election, and accused the Kuomintang of stigmatizing the profession to protect Chiang Wanan. Professional groups emphasized that harm reduction should respect the medical profession.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 Shen holds first campaign motorcade; Chiang urges debate coordination

DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang held his first campaign motorcycle parade in Taipei yesterday, attracting thousands of supporters and reiterated his call for four debates. The current Kuomintang mayor Jiang Wanan called on both sides to focus on actually holding the debate rather than turning it into a competitive topic. He said that the two sides have tentatively agreed to have TVBS host the televised debate and will discuss the details at today's meeting. Local elections will be held on November 28, known as the "nine-in-one" election, and will elect 11,051 local officials across the country.
